Great spot to spend the night. We arrived early and they had a room cleaned and allowed us to check in. Friendly, helpful staff. There is a bar next door which was great.

Rydges Wellington Airport
Didn't have breakfast, so no comment. The major restaurant was closed, but the Peltonen had a simple menu and their food was excellent. Well done to who ever is in charge of Food & Beverage there
